In the art world, "line-work" is a term used to describe the use of lines to create a piece of artwork. There are numerous synonyms that can be used to describe this technique, including linear, outlined, intricate, detailed, and stippled. Linear artwork is created by using straight and curved lines to produce a two-dimensional image. Outlined artwork is done by drawing the external edges of objects or forms to create an image. Intricate line-work involves the creation of complex and detailed lines to create an intricate design. Detailed line-work is done by using fine lines to sketch out details in an image. Finally, stippled artwork is done by drawing tiny dots to create shading or texture in an image.
